So what is your question?

Also, throw your "PSI" goal out the window. PSI means nothing in regards to turbochargers.

Ben_

Is this doable for 700-1100$

I need to make parts list and budget bro I'm doing this help me pick parts

Ben_

I will be installing said parts so no money spent on labor

little too much. is this missing anything???

Ben_

the d series calculator says this will be 9.25 comp ratio with no mill of head

WiscoEx

Have you spoke with your machine shop about the cost? A better idea of where you are in your goal will depend largely on those costs.

Ben_

don't have one. i'm located near SLC

Why are you looking at D17 parts? Completely different motor, not compatible. Why have you not read the FAQ sticky?

Ben_

why not do d17 crank and oil pump and such for more displacement

Ben_

if i swap the whole d17 rotating assembly out of a junkyard car that has been wrecked and use a d16 block and b7 head those parts should match

Because displacement isn't the only thing you should care about. Stroking out a D16 would lower your redline, which cuts out the range where these motors are known for making most of their power, and that's all assuming you don't run into issues with the pistons poking too far above the deck and causing P2V issues. There's just not enough to gain from it for it to be worthwhile.

tires tires tires tires tires tires suspension brakes. you clearly do not understand autox.

I came in thinking this.

Stop trying to make more power, focus on what he mentioned.

have you even autox'd the car yet?

Ben_

fair enough back to the original plan

found a machine shop so heres the new build

rebuild b7 head

cam - 360 from web cams who does bisi's cams lol
valve job - 225
surface and mill .03- 50
evergreen valves - 105
head gasket & bolt kit - 105

block

junkard z6 probably

deck plate hone - 185

rebuild kit - 305

flywheel and clutch

250



this comes to 1580

Ben_

you clearly dont understand situation bro

set up is as follows


15x7 rpf1 re71r 205
progress cs2
poly bushings all around
doing si full brake swap soon have parts just need to install
full exhaust w/ new cat
ignition system tune up
d16 trans soon with flywheel/clutch

Ben_

oh did i forget to metion integra ls front sway and eibach 25mm hollow rear as soon as i get control arms

White_EG1

Fix this first

Ben_

i think ill fix it by throwing it out and making a new engine. the thing is wore out and now ticks its got 220k on it its time for it to die

How many events have you done with the current setup?
Why are you looking to turbo it? I'm just curious.

have you considered a simple B swap instead?

And to your original question. I'd take a looking a vitara piston/eagle rod build. Cheap, proven, and reliable.

Ben_

not looking for turbo right now. if i want turbo ill take the engine i make now put studs rods pistons w/e but right now if i can get a RUNNING d ill think about turbo later. I still have races to attend lol

this is my 3rd year right now 60 events maybe. the car has only 3 events on it but it feels stronnnnggggg

b swap is expensive and hard. with using my b7 head i dont even have to touch the wire harness or tune or anything if i don't run crazy high compression


BUDGET BUILD im not a millionaire i saved a few g's last summer working at a copper mine so now im spending it all at once

Ben_

vitara pistons alone are almost the same price as my machine shop quote just saying

Ben_

then you buy rods bolts turbo tubing ecu wire harness put it all together blah blah blah i want some all american cheap greasy fast horsepower

Ben_

130 whp would be ******* fantastic

I definitely understand staying on a budget. If you plan to tune, I honestly wouldn't do anything other than an OEM rebuild. You'll get the full potential out of it, especially if you upgrade the cam.
